Multiple Polymerase Chain Reaction for Direct Detection of Bloodstream Infection After Cardiac Surgery in a PICU

OBJECTIVES:. Nosocomial infections are a prevalent cause of death and complications in critically ill children. Conventional cultures are able to detect only up to 25% of bacteremia. Several studies have suggested that molecular tests could be a faster and effective tool for detection of bacterial i...
